Dear Gentle Reader,
I am sorry for my absence these past two years. My plan is to get back into the swing of things but we will see as life continues to pull in a lot of different directions as it does us all.
For now and probably going forward, I have gotten rid of the COVID-19 Diary. I enjoyed doing it but at some point it slowed down my productivity referencing all the news articles and while I would like to say I will return and finish it off the past two years suggests otherwise.
Instead I will be returning to writing about films and shows I see and have a few ideas in the pipeline I hope to bring to fruition.
For now let’s play catch-up.
In early September 2021 I went to see a Marvel movie for Scenestr magazine which is quite a get. The last time I did that was for the underwhelming Captain Marvel. Shang-Chi fared better with me for its likeable characters and slick fight choreography.

Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. Having started in 1993 they’ve excelled at moving into the digital realm but they remain at heart from the streets. They still publish magazines in print for Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland every month.

Great to see you back, Lloyd. You’ve been missed.
That is very kind GP. I have missed you guys too and hope to be back more this year. How are you?
Older, but no wiser. 🤪
A lot of that going around GP. 🙂
I don’t watch Marvel films, but I read your review, and shared it on Twitter too. As always, it was very good indeed. Nice to see you back, old friend. And nice that I am still alive to be able to read your post. 🙂
Best wishes to you and Karen, Pete.
I am very happy to have you read my posts again and thank you for sharing on Twitter and reading the review. How are you friend? I hope to be more present going forward.
2022 wasn’t a good year, for many reasons. But we got through it and are hoping for better this year.
I am sorry to hear that but appreciate your spirit. I will work to get caught up with you.
Welcome back, Lloyd. I missed you and Karen. Nice review by the way.
I have missed you too Don. How are you doing? Hope to catch up on your blog soon too and to be more prolific in 2023.
Doing fine, Lloyd. Thanks for asking.
I am glad to hear it Don.
